How is this build?

[flamgblie]

Hey!

 

I am new to both the world of high(ish) end pc's and to this forum! So hi everyone! I would like to buy a game computer (i feel i don't have the experience yet to try building it myself plus i really like the customer support they are providing). 

I made this setup on their site and i am curious what you guys think of it! Ofcourse i did a good amount of research before posting it here . So let me know if i did something stupid or if something can be better! (or cheaper, that wouldn't hurt either )

 

Case: Sharkoon BD28

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P

CPU: FX-4300 (Quad Core) (overclocked)

Cooler: Scythe Katana 4

RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz (Crucial Ballistix - Dual Channel)

GPU: AMD R9 270X

Storage: 1 TB HDD Not sure which brand (i'm guessing not really good, but will do, cost around $70)

Power supply: Corsair VS450

 

In total this costs (including legal copy of windows 8, building, installing, overclocking, delivery and livelong support) €782 (hi from the Netherlands ) so that would be around $950.

ps. For a monitor i was thinking of a Asus VS229HV

I would up the ram to 16 but thats just my opinion...otherwise the price seems ok, especially for Europe...you guys just get shafted with prices . At least you get lifetime support.

Thanks for the tip! I will look if i can afford that . Yep that's true in some cases (if you build the pc yourself) it would actually be cheaper to just buy all the parts in the US and pay the shipping costs
